steamcommunity.com/app/20510/discussions/0/558747922713833080

Patch the fucking game

...

i swear to fuck they better not be waiting for the anniversary to release 1.4

fucking shit

The version of CS I downloaded came with a bunch of mods already installed. Can I just delete the mod folder (pic related) to get rid of them? I want to uninstall SRP so I can install the "AO SRP Mod Merge" version from the OP repo - as it has all the graphical mods bundled in.

>thanks anons

You fucked up

just reinstall the game, then use the merge

I don't know what ghetto-ass shit you installed but it could have bin mods or db mods or any other shit so just get a copy that isn't fucked up instead.

Forgot pic, sorry.

Nigger those are not "already installed", what are you on about.

>you do not need to rest
REEEE LET ME SLEEP

...

It was the version from MEGA in the OP?

You're a fucking idiot

Yep sorry, first time playing with mods and I've only played SoC many years ago with no Internet.

who cares what you downloaded, just scrap that shit, delete it. and reinstall then use the AO +SRP merge

Yeah I didn't realize these mods aren't actually installed because I'm a noob. That's what I'm doing now, AO+SRP is nearly done downloading.

Any idea if the widescreen patch is included in AO+SRP?

i never needed a widescreen patch in 1920x1080 for cs+ao

Save this and pay it forward next time someone asks.

i'm on coc, not on AMK

Oh. Just kill yourself then I guess.

Thanks for the help anons, I'm booting it up for the first time now.

kek

Any idea how to fix the game locking up with a black screen temporarily whenever I go in and out of the ESC or Options menu?

>the game

WHAT game?

The one you just lost

...

CS, sorry.

real fuckin helpful

in coc, what's the song that plays in sidorovich's bunker? sounds like russian Dio

So we all know that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is never ever, but what would you have liked to see if it weren't?
I'd at least like a functioning stealth and LoS system.

It's gonna be here eventually

If stalker 2 was going to be made the thing I would like most is for it not to be made because there is no universe in which it wouldn't be complete shit.
Sneaking works fine already. Just because you can't do sick killmoves and it's not like most stealth games where shadows make you invisible and everyone has a big fuck-off ALART indicator over their head doesn't mean it's broken.

And it's gonna be good

Gunplay that isn't garbage. You wouldn't really expect someone to say something like that when talking about a fucking FPS game, where the gunplay is what the game is about, but there ya go.
Lots of emphasis on survival mechanics while keeping it nice and fun. Much more dangerous wildlife, with human encounters being downplayed.
But let's get real for a second: If STALKER 2 was ever released in any timeframe in the future, it'd be terrible. Either the hype train, terrible design choices, the retarded expectations of the fanbase of any mixture of these three would kill the game.

do the technicians in COC have specialties? can any technician install servomotors on exoskeletons?

...

So adding the AO+SRP Mod Merge seems to have made my game super unstable with frequent FPS drops. What mods should I get rid of first to try and improve my experience? I am running everything from the merge including the optionals.

I'll never understand why anyone would do Skull's mission. You lose a quest giver and a trader with NATO items for no good reason.

That fucker isn't even supposed to be there.

Yes vanilla

All the links in that thread are dead
It is patched

lmao'ing @ your life famm

>take something that looks good / decent

gg

the fuck you need a link for? edit the fucking script

just install SRP

Probably one of my favorite Stalker webms.

Would you rather work with Freedom and fight your way through Duty hordes every time you go to the bar?

Stop chugging so many mosnters.

>Gunplay that isn't garbage.
Gunplay in SoC was absolute ass, but CS/CoP wasn't bad.

You got that exactly backwards

Skull's crew is there without orders. You can take part in Lukash's raid and remain friendly with Duty HQ.

They aren't even Duty anymore.

Nah, I'd rather sit still and see two really big babies fight each other. Then loot them both.

You're right, it isn't. Thanks for posting.

Nigga just off yourself.

Holy fuck OGSE is broken when it comes to quests where you've got an NPC following you, can any of them even be completed?

>Looking for basic tools
>Find advanced ones in a stash instead
This fucking mod.

I've found 2 advanced and 1 calibration. 0 basic
gotta love RNG. how does the stash system work anyway, i get they are many are filled out at random. when someone gives you coordinates does the stash get filled or do they give coordinates to pre filled stashes?

stashes have a chance to be filled upon the start of the game

if you get stash coordinates, that stash is guaranteed to be filled no matter what

I've found filled stashes that i had previously emptied without ever getting coordinates. funny thing was that it was the bar chest, somehow that chest is a stash

>Survarium got turned into a retarded Arenashooter
>S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 never EVER

>Tarkov will become a glorified Slavic Day Z

your chances are higher when somene gives you coordinates.

at the start of a new game half of the total stashes gets populated from there basic toolkits are common, advanced are rare and calibration toolkits are almost impossible to get. you can increase your chances by getting the rag and bone achievement that will give you an extra luck bonus..

In the new update the system will change, now stash content will be hidden until someone gives you the stash coordinates then it will be accessible.

lmao I'm literally never updating then, what's the point of exploration if there's nothing to find?

>got turned into

kill yourself!

Saw someone with 'mechanix' brand gloves in CoP, does anyone know where to download?

blame it on tejasautism he keeps giving them feedback from 1.2 even though they've updated the stash system three times already. at least it's easy to fix.

Why the fuck would you want to, they look horrible.

they looked ok, i like the brand

OWR
Your opinion is wrong

RIP your save

That's not really my concern, I have an autosave that only sets me back like 40 minutes, but I want to fix it so that I don't have to go the entire game without being able to use quicksaves.

Load your autosave, make a quicksave and see if it loads. If so just keep going, you're fine for now. If not you need to go back further.

Is there a way to set it so that autosaves and quicksaves dont overwrite?

No
Get in the habit of making hard saves. I always keep one per map. You can just do it from the console, doesn't take long

Threadly reminder that Shadow of Chernobyl with Autumn Aurora 2 wearing headphones and playing in a cold autumn night is the best possible S.T.A.L.K.E.R. experience.

I haven't played stalker since lost alpha came out and was exactly what everyone expected: very mediocre
has anything interesting come out since then?

You misspelled Lost Alpha

No, LA is the pinnacle of modmaking and everyone rightly realized that it was pointless to keep trying after that.

Ok, new autosave loads just fine.
